Abia State Governor Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has awarded scholarships to 17 Students who Top the West African School Certificate Examination(WAEC)

This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday 22nd June 2016 by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor Mr Enyinnaya Appolos

The Statement Reads in Parts:

Abia state Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has congratulated students and teachers in the state over the ranking of the state as the number one state in the May/June 2015 West African School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) result as released by the West African Examination Council.

In recognition of the excellent performance of the schools and students in the state’s school system, Governor Ikpeazu has approved the award of tertiary education scholarship to the best students from each of the 17 local government areas of the state in any Nigerian tertiary institution.

Governor Ikpeazu has directed the Commissioner for Education, Professor Ikechi Mgboji, to forward to him the list of the best student from each LGA of the state in the 2015 WASSCE examination results to enable him.

The Governor also directed that, going forward, the best performing student in WASCE from each of the 17 LGAs will receive automatic tertiary education scholarship from the state government.

It will be recalled that West African Examination Council (WAEC) recently released details of the performance of students by state and Abia State came first as the best performing state, while 35 other states and Abuja queued behind.

Abia State has consistently maintained top position in the WASSCE performance chart in the past five years.

In results released for 2014 and 2013 Abia came second behind Anambra State but has now overtaken Anambra state as the overall best and 1st in the WASSCE performance chart for 2015 examinations. The State topped the chart with 33, 762 of its 52, 801 candidates, scoring 63.94 per cent.

The Governor is challenging the Commissioner, teachers and students in the state to ensure that the state maintains this top position, promising that he will do everything possible to ensure much more improved students and teachers welfare that will enhance the performance of Abia students in future examinations.

Recall that Governor Ikpeazu recently donated 3 cars to the best primary teachers from each senatorial zone of the state.

Dr Ikpeazu who was a University teacher prior to his emergence as Governor is also appealing to private individuals and organizations to support his “adopt a school” program and help his administration fast track infrastructural renewal in Abia Schools.

He is also committed to ensuring that the recently launched school feeding program, which the Abia State Government is doing in partnership with farmers in the state, is sustained.
